I just started my company(incorporated) got the state tax id, FIN, even registered for aD.U.N.S. #.

I have been all over the Internetlooking for people and/ companies who have been where I am right now.

Here's where I'm at.

I need investors (not their money).

I do not want to sell equity.

I do not want to borrow.

I do not want donations

So for the rest of this message pleaseunderstand that this is absolutely not about “fund raising”.

Here's the problem, I need Investorswho seek real estate opportunities. My company will acquireproperties that will either require me to hold or sell. I have noplans to hold property(s) as it is not what the company wasestablished for. The one thing that is certain is that most of theproperties will come to the company for less than the owner'spurchase price. These are completely voluntary and initiated by theowner(s).

So here's the problem I'm having,

Where I do i find these Investors whoare seeking real estate opportunities.

For my company to be successful, I onlyhave to achieve 1 task; Get rid of a property as fast as possible. Iwon't be making much on these properties, as it is not the source ofmy revenue. So holding these properties will likely eat into myrevenue. O' sure I could sell them for a nice markup. But then I'mstuck having maintain them until they sell. So I'm going to keep itsimple. Owning real estate is not what my company is about. So when Iget it – it's got to go.

All l need is the relationship withinvestors to let them know when I get a property. I 'm certain theycan tell me what they are looking for, so I know before hand if theproperty is of interest to them or If I'm going to have to hold.Either way.

I just need several investors who arewilling to take an opportunity when I get one.

I just started the company in Nov.07 operations will begin in Jan.08. The company "Menoz Corporation" will remain a privately owned company. I am not selling shares of the company. Since I'm not asking people to directly invest in my company I don't see the need for a lot of public information.

If you are an REI , all I'm asking of you is to allow me offer you properties that i (will) acquire in your area. my revenues will come from business done prior to the sell. "I'll make my money before the sell existed" . for that reason I'm looking for REI's who area willing to let me pass property details to them when I know the property meets their criteria. I need to know the investors I'm dealing with so I don't waste their time or mine presenting a property outside of their criteria or range.

About my company?About Me ?

What does my company and /or personal information have to do with the profit potentianal of a peice of real estate? (no ill meant) Look it's very simple and should remain that way - (1) If the property is not located in your area, I probably won't try to contact you. (2) If I paid 70%+ of market value for the property, I probably won't contact you. (3) If I don't think You would buy it with in a week - I won't contact you.

I am not set up to buy and sell real estate. But will have to acquire some properties as a "side effect" of business. There will be "opoertunity" in the properties I would offer you. If I receive a property that has low or no potentail "you won't know about it" I'll get stuct with it and prepare to make lemon-ade.

Q: what can you do from wherever you are that I can't do from here myself?

Take on an amount of risk that (you) investors avoid

In the course of doing business, I will end up with properties that have a negitive equity. Those properties I / many company can handle. Our business model and stategy is based on just that. What I am not positioned for is maintaining an inventory of every property I acquire. So, It's easier to get rid of good opportunities that the bad one. Like I said earlier, my company makes its money on the front end. The properties I will be offering to investors not acquired for the purpose of investment (on my end).

What am I bringing to the table. "call me a bird dog" if you wish. even though I just a business man who knows what he's getting into and when an exit strategy is needed.

Investors are part of that exit strategy. "I'm not trying to buy and sell real estate".so, what am I offering investors? an occassional contact with a property(s) for you to consider as simple yes or no determines where I go from there.

Before I can start operations, I must have a broad contact list of real estate investors who will simply look at the property and tell me if they want it. No contract, No upfront money, No obligation to purchase on the investors part. It's pretty much a numbers game, the more investors I'm in contact with the quicker I can get rid of the properties. The less I take from the deal the quicker I'll will find an investor from my contact list who is willing to take the property.

I must apologize, I accidently left out a fact.

The properties will go through a realtor in your area, they will handle the transaction on my behalf (so I dont have to travel all over the US). the price offered to you will not change. But the property will resell very quickly producing a fast turn around. These properties will be part of a service that my company provides to buyers and home owners. As part of the agreement Me nor my company will be allowed to profit from the sale of a property (thats a limitation my company agrees) to inorder to remove a conflict of interest that would otherwise taint the trust between Menoz Corporation an Our client/homeowners. While we are prohibited from profiting on the resell, we can and must make every attempt to bring the property back into the program which will require the new owner (not investor) to become a member. The details regard this area of My company will remain confidential as require by the agreements we make to our clients.

what do I , bring to the table?I'm yet another source you will have for finding good properties that will resell quicker than the average.

Now! since people want to know what I can bring, I must ask the same.

I haven't ask for:moneycontractsor even an obligation

I've only ask that you give me a means to contact you and "make an offer" that you can certainly say no to.

since thats all I'm asking, What may I ask are you (Investors) bring to the table.

Menoz it sounds to me like you want contact information. The first question for me is how do I know that you arent simply building a list of contacts for sale or for some other purpose? We dont have any real information about you. How do I know you are not another scam artist or real estate "guru" attempting to sell me your next gimmick/training package? Do you have a website that tells me more or would make me feel comfortable giving you my contact information? Do you have any business references that that I can contact?

What kind of business model are you using? Are you wholeselling properties and assigning contracts? Do you acquire the property only after you know you will have an investor to purchase it from you. Are you sure what you are doing legal in all 50 states?

What am I doing,Working to develop a homeowner based community to provide services to other home owners.Issues; foreclosure, debt relief, real estate investment, and yet another but hopefully more supportive community training for members and visitors.

The wesite is not ready but exists and will develop further as a community not a get rich quick gateway.hopefully members will simply not permit it from becoming a portal of sale pitches and scam artists.the goal is to only market the community and the benefit of being a member.

Thanks for asking, I hope you can benefit from the community's startup or later once it is established.

h3. Menoz, Good luck when you start your company on Jan 15, 2008.Tellus more about yourself and please explain the difference betweenneeding investors (not their money). You want to sell real estate to investors?? Do you have a Marketing Plan??

Maybe the following will help, LUCKIEST

1. Start Smart.Identify a niche. Don't compete to be the lowest cost provider. Lookfor what makes your product or service unique and adds a special valuefor the client and charge for that value. Every business has manyfacets. Start with what you know and like; start a business that hasmeaning to you. Keep in mind that we don't know what the future holds,many of the jobs and businesses of tomorrow don't exist today. You cancreate your own success.

Now is the time to dream. To start smart, you should like the idea ofthe business. The way to earn a good income and build wealth is byserving clients well, making their life better in some way-it's morethan filling a need in the marketplace. To succeed you want to test theidea to make sure your potential clients like the idea too. Test yourideas.

2. Plan Ahead.People often ask me why bother with a business plan? Look at thelottery as an example. You may get lucky and get the winning ticket,but the odds are against you when you rely on random chance. I'm a risktaker...but not that much, minimize the risk of going into business andmaximize your potential for success. Take the time to write a plan ofhow you get from point A to point B. A plan gives you a clear futurefocus and increases your chances of success.

The first rule of a start-up is put some of your own money in thebusiness. As the owner you must be willing to capitalize the business.The second rule is put as little of your own money as possible in thebusiness. Prepare your plan and look for funding for your business frommultiple sources, which can include a business loan or business line ofcredit.

Don't go it alone. Plan ahead now to build your team. Your team mayinclude a CPA and an attorney that you work with as needed. Add amentor from your industry and get a SCORE mentor to help you plan forsuccess. No one has all the answers. You get more ideas and informationby building a success, support team that can help you plan ahead.

3. Set up Systems.The most basic system every business should have is a good financialsystem. Ask yourself how am I going to generate enough income tosupport myself and my family. Begin here. Put together a personalbudget, so you know what it costs you to live. Now, you can move on tothe business budget and sales planning, so you can see how many salesyou need to break even and make a profit. The start-up expense plan,operating budget and your accounting software are vital to yoursuccess.

4. Seek out Sales.The daunting question is how do you go about seeking out your firstsale. Recognize that since you don't have a big ad budget to be seen byeveryone, you need to target a niche and get connected in your marketcommunity, be it local, regional or national. You need other peopleselling for you-not employees-goodwill referrals. Get out and talk toas many people as you can. Join organizations that would have clientsfor your product or service. Become a visible part of your market, andthen ask for the sale. You begin the sales process with people that youknow. Yes, it's okay to start with friends and family as your firstcustomers, and then broaden from there.

5. Aim for Growth.The basic tenant of creating a company is that you own the company. Youare not just creating a job for yourself. It's less risk and lessinvestment to get a job. Building a business is creating a company thatis more than the job itself. Think about the future. How large do youwant the company to be in terms of sales, net profit and employees?Your answer to each of these questions will influence how you grow.There are varying costs and profits associated with growth. It'simportant to make a deliberate choice early about how you want to growyour company.

6. Leverage Opportunities.Good luck. Good fortune. Good timing. All play a part in business. As abusiness owner, be very clear about your core focus for the businessand how it serves clients. Your core business is what pays the bills.Then, as an entrepreneur you are about opportunity. When you see apotential opportunity or stroke of luck measure it against your corebusiness focus. Good fortune is great, when it matches your vision forthe business. Always consider if a good opportunity is the right fitfor your business. If something looks great, but it's not in sync withyour long-term plan and budget, think carefully before committing yourcompany's resources.
